Beach Bar Bums Focus: Harold Boothe – Making History Writing Songs
Tagged: beach bar playlist, harold boothe
If there was ever an official Beach Bar Bums troubadour, Harold Boothe may have just been bestowed that title. Never mind his soulful laidback tunes tailor-made for a day on the beach that you can find at his site, lakelizardmusic.com. The real clincher is the song he wrote and performed entitled “Beach Bar Bums” (download the song for free for a limited time). Yes, you read that right. We have our anthem, thanks to Mr....
A Soundtrack For Your Beach Bar Sunset
There are few things in life that can top a sunset while sitting at a beach bar. That’s one of the main reasons this blog exists in the first place – magical moments like those. However, if the music “soundtracking” that moment isn’t applicable, the magic can disappear quicker than the sun below the horizon. Sure, Metallica’s “Fuel” is a great song but at sunset? Probably not so much....

Back in 2015, I had the great opportunity to attend Moonsplash, the annual music festival that takes place on the beaches of Anguilla at the Dune Preserve. One of the standout performers from that night was Mighty Mystic. His shows were energetic and entertaining and he had the audience in the palm of his hands the entire time. I was able to meet up with him on Sunday afternoon at the beach party for Moonsplash. I found out he was...

After digging around the internet for a while, I discovered a reviewer on iTunes who mentioned that the singer/songwriter behind the song was Travis Meadows. Searching through YouTube videos, I came across a video of Meadows performing the song in...
Kenny Chesney, Beach Bars and My Love Affair With Both
Tagged: beach bar, kenny chesney
I’ve been on a bigger-than-normal Kenny Chesney kick lately. With his new album, “Songs for the Saints,” just coming out and the first single, “Get Along,” on constant rotation on the airwaves and around our pool (listen to my playlist), it’s hard to ignore him. There’s a certain appeal that members of his No Shoes Nation certainly get. Trying to explain that to people who aren’t fans of his music might be difficult – sometimes you...
Beach Bar Playlist: Keith Sykes – “Come As You Are Beach Bar”

Anytime a tune debuts and includes the words “beach bar,” it’s going to grab my attention. “Come As You Are Beach Bar,” the latest ditty from Keith Sykes, has received positive feedback after appearing in the rotation at Radio Margaritaville, even warranting a tweet shout out from Radio M’ville’s JD Spradlin as it topped the Trop Rock charts this week at Radio A1A. Mr. Sykes isn’t a stranger to the trop rock scene, having written...
